Farmer's Market Update

It's almost time for the Grand Opening of our farmers market on May 23, 2008. We now have the firm commitments of Griffins Organics and Weavers Acres for Fresh Produce (with Lowell Weaver saying he knows of some more vendors who would be interested in attending). We also have Sweet Leaf Organics and Lavender Blue Farms bringing herbs and plants.

Any other growers in the area interested in joining us, we have one more planning session before the start of the market season. That meeting will be on May 1, 2008 at 7 pm at the Woodlawn Nature Center.

It is not necessary to attend the meeting to sell at our market. But it is helpful, as we will be able to publicize your presence at the market (in case you have customers interested in your specific wares). It also helps us plan our our spaces better.

We are also be admitting area crafters to sell their wares (especially in the first few sessions when fresh produce may be at a premium). And we will be looking for street performers to perform music, act out short plays, tell jokes, or provide similar entertainment for the patrons. Bring your talents and make some money from them.

Thus far announcments of our new market have been placed with the following:

WNIT
WVPE
WAUS
Cat Country 99.9, and
B100

More Public Announcements will be forthcoming.

Special Note to our Vendors: If you have a website for your business, please email me and I will link your name in our pages to your website.
